Hope everyone had an excellent Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's.
Yesterday was such a windy day ! We had 80 mph winds ! That is so unusual for us. I had just planted the red maple in the backyard too. It ended up withstanding the force. I must've done a good job planting ! LOL
Today, I had breakfast with the folks, then went down to the river for my walk. I came home, dug a new garden along the back fence (about 50 ft) and took the sod I dug out and took it to the landfill. My legs are so sore. I hope I can walk tomorrow ! LOL
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend and I hope this week goes smoooooooooooth for everyone.

hellooooooooooooo everybody!!!!!
i've been beyond busy at work. it's that time of year! i spoke with an unhappy parent 2 times today - once this morning and again from 4:30 til 5:00. he needed to yell to the universe - and i'm so glad i was in that part of the universe to listen! i just don't want his words to come back to haunt him. at one point i told him he was cutting off his nose to spite his face - and he was! a coworker had brought our boss in to take the call - i told her i was fine with the call - didn't want or need any help. i emailed her a bit ago asking her to please not let what this man said go any further - to just keep it in our office. unfortunately he's a teacher and she is ultimately his boss as she is over his principal - sighhhhhh.
i did tell the guy at one point that his temperment was just like mine - which is NOT a good thing as i am now embarrassed to ever go back to verizon LOLOL yes i acted like the village idiot in there several months ago HA
there is so much talk of more cutbacks at work. i'm paid with state lottery money - not by the city. that's a good thing for me - maybe. who knows though? they can make a lot of that money go far far away at their whim. my plan? not to worry about it. i have no control over anything there so why worry? duh
what i did hear a bit ago is now all departments are finger pointing at other departments making every director justify every position. good grief. these people would have definitely been on the life boats FIRST if they'd been off the titanic LOLOL x forever
it's strange the big things i'm able to come to terms with and yet get squirrelly driving to the store. i find that (me) fascinating. LOL
i hope everyone's day rocked!!!!!!

Hey Karma !
I hope all is going well with the job ! Cutbacks are something I'm well familiar with. You kind of hold your breath until you know for sure that you will have a job tomorrow. You are right. There's nothing you can do except make sure you have an updated resume with you. I still have one in the glove box in my truck......just in case.
For some reason (I still can't figure out why), I had THE WORST panic attack I've ever had at work today. Nothing is wrong with work. In fact, today went real smooth and all of the bosses are gone tomorrow and Friday. Life can't get much better than that. I'm making sure to eat well, getting plenty of water and exercise, so I can't figure this one out. The attacks started on the ride to work. There was no reason to have one on the way to work either. I wasn't even thinking about an attack. That's what made it such a surprise ! I'm fine now and I've been fine since noon, but this morning was another story.
Maybe I should just quit figuring out why it happened and just move on.
Hope all went well today ! Rock like there's no tomorrow !

you are doing the right thing re the panic attack. keep moving forward. like you, i can't figure out the why's or wherefore's some of the time. but you made it through the morning and had a great afternoon. again, i bow to you!
as those who make the big money are pushing those of us who don't are pulling us out of the life boats, i stay totally unaware, uninvolved, and nonreacting. i guess that vaguely translates into clueless?
last night i called the teacher at his home who had been so upset yesterday. i'm glad i did. i didn't want him thinking over the things he'd said and worrying all night. i have a quick temper and know what it's like to go off. it's never pretty and most of the time i regret it. he was right as rain (line borrowed from young frankenstein LOL) his boss called today to ask me what was said and how and blah blah blah. i blew it off and said i have the same temper so i understood - and that now me and teacher guy are new bff's LOL i also told him i'd emailed our boss and she was cool with my take on things. bottom line? it's over and done with - and THE big boss doesn't want to hear about it.
i'm beat like a small dog. there is nothing like this time of year! these week the good news letters are going out. next week it will be the bad news letters. parents lose their only minds - always. again, i understand. everyone wants what it is they want - and they want it now. carrie fisher said it best when she said "instant gratification takes too long" LOL x forever
it's around 90 degrees and mama and i will be going for a walk in a bit. i'm going to do some yoga before she gets here.
man of mine - you are a hero!!!!!

hello all the worst thing about panic is it feeds on itself no reaction to it and it dies it has to have fear to survive we need to cut the lifes blood out of it and it will deflate like a balloon with the air going out of it
I tried all day sunday to have a panic attack was weak heart felt funny tight chested was suppose to go out to dinner with my daughter and her family went anyway and next thing I knew I was feeling fine best reaction is no reaction If I only had know this 30 yrs ago before all the phobias were born but need to move forward and nip it in the bud
today is thurday and I am off tomorrow yipeeeee
long weekend beautiful lets life in the precious present moment it is the best present
have a good day all

Forever Young, I agree. I have been battling with deflating those panic attacks as you. It comes from all sides at times.....family matters, news on TV, friends...all over....its a war man, a war.....I deflate....what a perfect word. I did that today....bad news from my sister in law, bad news from a friend of mine.....I deflated, I eliminated that from my mind, it wasnt easy, but I think of the tapes and all and I calm down. Now I wish I could deflate my waistline....lol creamcheesepuff
